Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 42: Chapter 42: First Encounter with Changle – Initiating the Flirtation Mode (Part 3)

Among them, the one with the most unpleasant expression was probably Consort Jiang.

She really couldn’t understand why the Empress Dowager was suddenly so eager to bring the two young ones together.

After leaving Cixiang Palace, Consort Jiang secretly gave Qin Yiyao a few words of advice, something along the lines of ’Take care of yourself, don’t suffer losses,’ and then flounced off from Mu Qingge.

Once she walked far away, the anger in her heart gradually subsided. Regretfully, she thought to herself: She even said her son couldn’t hold back. How had she also inexplicably gotten mad at Mu Qingge? Even if she contradicted her in front of the Empress Dowager, it shouldn’t have been like this!

After pondering for a long while, Consort Jiang couldn’t come to any conclusions, and could only sigh internally: This Mu Qingge indeed has the potential to make one’s composure collapse—so infuriating!

After everyone had retreated from Cixiang Palace, the Empress Dowager slowly put away her kind smile, revealing a mocking cold sneer.

The old nanny standing behind her then said, ”Usually, Consort Jiang does not seem like someone who can’t maintain her composure, but today, what happened?”

She was puzzled, but the Empress Dowager was not. She merely replied coldly, ”In the view of Aijia, she has been pampered too much by the Emperor and can’t stand others contradicting her in front of him. Just relying on some seduction technique, she dares covet what shouldn’t be coveted. Hmph, Aijia is just waiting to see how she’ll bring about her own ruin!”

...

On the other side, Mu Ge, eager to leave the Imperial Palace, was led to the Imperial Garden by the taciturn Princess Changle.

The latter’s figure was like a ’walking corpse,’ prompting Mu Ge to speak up: ”Ahem, if Princess is not in the mood to enjoy the flowers, there’s no need to force yourself. Why don’t we...”

”Grandmother asked me to take you around the palace.” Qin Yiyao interrupted Mu Ge calmly. It seemed what she was doing at the moment was merely fulfilling the Empress Dowager’s instructions.

Mu Ge was at a loss for words.

She could only follow behind Princess Changle, strolling among the flowers.

But evidently, neither of them was in the mood to appreciate the flowers. The sea of flowers around, with its faint fragrance floating, failed to catch their attention.

After patiently accompanying the princess for a while, Mu Ge announced she had run out of patience.

She suddenly stopped, lightly furrowing her brow to call out to the Princess Changle walking ahead.

Qin Yiyao turned around, her brow cold and calm.

”Princess Changle, I have other matters to attend to. I won’t be accompanying the princess in the garden today, farewell!” After speaking, Mu Ge turned with the intention to leave, as if staying longer might result in her immediate demise.

”Princess, how dare he show you such disdain?” Changle’s maid looked at the dashing departing figure of Mu Ge, feeling indignant for her master.

But in her indignation, she failed to notice a quick flash of surprise in her master’s eyes.

Suddenly, a gale arose, coming without the slightest warning.

The wind surged, causing the flowers in the Imperial Garden to sway as if about to break at any moment. Some dust was swept into the air, flying wildly. People were forced to raise a hand to shield themselves, lest the wind and sand enter their eyes.

Instantly, the view blurred, wind and sand obscuring the path ahead. This forced Mu Ge, who was leaving, to stop not far from Qin Yiyao.

Moments later, the gale gradually subsided, and clarity returned to the view.

Mu Ge was about to leave when suddenly she heard an urgent voice behind her.

”Princess, what’s wrong?”

”Princess, why are your eyes continuously tearing up?”

Saying this, there were also frantic cries exclaiming, ”Quickly call for the imperial physician!”

Mu Ge frowned, turning to look back.

She saw Qin Yiyao standing in place, head bowed, seemingly using the silk handkerchief in hand to wipe at her eyes irritated by the wind and sand.

’Isn’t it just sand in the eye? Is it worthy of such a fuss?’ Mu Ge thought grudgingly. Her feet, however, moved towards Qin Yiyao.

Just as she approached, she heard Qin Yiyao’s calm voice say, ”It’s nothing, just some wind and sand in the eyes.”

Her calm voice failed to reassure the surrounding maids, instead making them more nervous.

Suddenly, through blurry vision, she saw a flame-red figure floating from afar, followed by a cool finger lifting her chin, forcing her to look up.

All around, the voices of Palace Maids abruptly vanished. Qin Yiyao’s heart was filled with boundless surprise; this sudden act caused her previously unperturbed heart to suddenly leap violently.

A subtle fragrance wafted into her nose, not smelling like cosmetics but rather natural.

Just as Qin Yiyao was in a daze, she suddenly felt the eyelid of her eye, irritated by the wind and sand, being gently held open by someone’s fingertips.

”Phew——”

Warm breath suddenly blew into her eyes. This sudden warmth shocked Qin Yiyao, as the irritation in her eyes seemed to evaporate and the uncomfortable sensation gradually faded.

”Princess, are you alright?”

The voice of her personal maid and the suddenly vanished warmth prompted Qin Yiyao to slowly open her eyes that had involuntarily closed from the warming caress.

When she opened them, she didn’t see the anxious expressions of the Palace Maid; her aloof gaze fell only on the figure, strikingly fiery red, gracefully departing into the distance...
